Friday Favorites: Must Have Trends for an End of Summer Wardrobe

August 31, 2018 - 26 Comments

I can’t believe it’s already the end of August! This summer has flown by, but it’s not over yet! There are so many great summer outfit essentials that will transition perfectly into fall, so I wanted to share some of my favorite trends to help you put together your end of summer wardrobe.Little Black Tops: We’ve all heard of the little black dress and how it’s the perfect wardrobe staple for almost any occasion, but little black tops are a much less talked about wardrobe secret. This one is from Cinq a Sept (similar versions here and here, $15 version here, and $30 version here) and it always makes me feel effortlessly chic.Shell Jewelry: Shell jewelry is definitely a summer staple that’s also going to be trending this fall. Luckily, this trend will make it feel like summer is lasting much longer! So many jewelry designers have been making gorgeous pieces inspired by the beach. I personally love asymmetrical jewelry, like these Brinker and Eliza earrings. For a more subtle look, you can layer simple, classic shell pieces, like these gold cowrie shell necklaces. 2. No Makeup Makeup: The entire Armani neo nude collection is ideal for the “no makeup, makeup” look. Personally, I’m a fan of the Armani neo nude blush and Armani neo nude ecstasy balm. It might feel like summer is ending, but the “no makeup, makeup” look can make you look like you just spent the day at the beach (even if you’re stuck inside at work!).3. Biker Shorts: If you aren’t already wearing biker shorts (similar here, and affordable version here), it’s time to start now, because I am all for this trend! Biker shorts are a comfy way to look fashion-forward, and the trend is not going away any time soon.5. Chain Belts: Chain belts are back and here to stay. When in Bermuda, I saw Raissa Gerona wearing a chain belt over her bikini. They remind me of vintage Chanel chain belts, and feel perfectly on-trend with the 90s vibes that everyone has been wearing all summer. I really like this Nordstrom chain belt, and this Lovers + Friends gold chain belt (a more affordable version here and here).
